Sample report · Supply Chain & Logistics
We re-derived a published figure from the public record.
In FY2024, Target's year-end inventory grew 7.2 percent while sales fell 0.8 percent — an eight-point divergence visible in two published series. The report derives what the filings support: turnover 6.21× → 6.03×, days inventory outstanding 58.8 → 60.5 days — and then does something rarer: it states that five of the six standard supply-chain KPIs (perfect order rate, OTIF, cycle time, fill rate, freight cost) are internal metrics no retailer publishes, instead of filling six rows with numbers nobody can trace.
The situation
The most extreme coverage gap in the program — built deliberately.
A board and operations leadership group asks for a supply-chain dashboard on a national retailer. Public filings support exactly one of the six standard KPIs. The honest move is to compute that one thoroughly, derive what the data genuinely supports, and name what's missing with reasons.
We entered three fiscal years of published statements and had the report derive the inventory metrics, surface the inventory-versus-sales divergence, and put the coverage statement front and center.
What we supplied
Only public inputs — each one sourced.
All inputs come from the company's own earnings releases (single publisher — disclosed). Fiscal 2023 was a 53-week year; growth comparisons against it are caveated.
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Net sales (FY23/24/25) | $107,412M / $106,566M / $104,780M | Earnings releases |
| Cost of sales | $77,828M / $76,502M / $75,511M | Earnings releases |
| Year-end inventory | $11,886M / $12,740M / $12,304M | Balance sheets |
| Gross margin rate | 27.5% / 28.2% / 27.9% | Earnings releases |
| Comparable sales | +0.1% (FY24) / −2.6% (FY25) | Earnings releases |
| Capex | $2,891M → $3,727M | Cash flow statements |

Reconcile
Our output vs. the published figures.
| Metric | Published | Ours (computed) | Match | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory turnover | Not stated by the company | COGS ÷ avg inventory: 6.21× (FY24), 6.03× (FY25) | ✓ exact | Every input is on the face of the statements |
| Days inventory outstanding | Not stated by the company | 365 ÷ turnover: 58.8 → 60.5 days (+1.7) | ✓ exact | Anyone can reproduce it |
| Inventory vs sales divergence | Both series published | FY24: inventory +7.2% vs sales −0.8% | ✓ exact | The question a board asks first |
The five unavailable KPIs are named with the reason beside each — internal operating data, no filing contains them. The company's investor-event supply-chain targets weren't extracted and the report says so rather than paraphrasing loosely-dated ambitions.
